It’s really fun to play around with these! Last night (while I was battling the flu) I did up a quick book trailer for Firm Touch.
I hope you all enjoy.

Wow, where did the time go. I blinked and November disappeared on me. 
I’m sure NaNo had more than a little to do with that (and I finished with 68k!). So it’s been a bit since I’ve done any updates and I have some fun things to share.
First off, thank you to everyone who has had kind words about Commanding Acquisitions, my story in the 1-800-DOM-help series. Book three will be releasing on January 26th, and it’s coming to you from the very talented Desiree Holt. Look for Delight Me, coming soon.
To celebrate our third release in the series, the fantastic Delphine Dryden has pulled together a trailer for the series!
Awesome, right?!
Tomorrow marks the release of my contribution to the EC Merry Kinkmas line. Firm Touch is coming out and I’m nervous/excited about this one. Nervous because the kink I chose is pretty risque, even for me. Excited because I’d like to think I did a good job on it. I guess we’ll see tomorrow. If you buy Firm Touch, please consider leaving a comment on the EC site (good or bad, just be honest).
I was also thrilled to have a stunning review of No Remedy by Ames over at Book Binge. She gave No Remedy 4.75 out of 5!
Holy spaceballs! I don’t know what I was expecting when I opened this book up, but I was totally blown away by what I read…the action begins immediately in No Remedy. Which is great! And unfolding right alongside all the action is a really great romance. First of all, there is enough history between the three characters that the quick pace of the romance makes sense…No Remedy had everything good going for it. A space pirate, a bounty hunter and a scientist. There was all combinations of loving that really spiced up an already interesting concept and all the action just hit the spot.
Please make sure to pop over to the Book Binge and check out all their other fantastic reviews!
And finally, my last bid news… I got another puppy! Yes, poor Jack my one and a half year old miniature Daschund was lonely. He gets left home alone in the day now that my husband has taken on a new job and we were feeling bad. So yesterday we went out and got another mini.
Introducing…Jill!! (yes…we went there)
I love my baby girl bunches and I think Jack is rather smitten as well. Or horny. We really need to get him fixed now LOL!
I’m still writing up a storm and should have several submissions off to editors in the near future. I’m just finishing up a WIP and then it will be back to work on No Master, book three in my space pirate series. I hope all is well with everyone.

I’m looking forward to talking with everyone on Monday.
I love doing NaNoWriMo…I really do. The sucky think about it though, is how it consumes your life. I haven’t had time to read, bathe (kidding (sort of)), or generally hang out. I also haven’t been blogging very much.
The good news is that I’m 37k into the story. I’m going to aim to hit 60k by the end of the month. I’m really enjoying the story and I love how things are working out for the characters. Let’s just hope you’ll all have a chance to read it someday.
I also have not had a lot of time to start telling everyone about Firm Touch! It will be coming out on Monday, December 6th and is part of Ellora’s Cave’s Merry Kinkmas series. If you haven’t had a chance to look, you should check out the Coming Soon pages to see what some of the other awesome stories are.
Blurb
Max has a secret. Max used to like to play on the wild side. Even though those days are now behind him, Max occasionally gets an itch for a particular fetish—one he would trust only Leo to scratch.
Leo would do anything for Max. One night after several rounds of tequila, Max confesses his desire to have Leo fist him. Though he is uncertain and concerned, Leo can’t get the thought out of his mind. He decides to give Max a Christmas present he won’t soon forget.
Well, I best get back to it. That NaNo book won’t write itself.
I swear this is my favourite part of being a writer!
I am very excited to present you with the cover for my Merry Kinkmas story, Firm Touch!

Sunday is supposed to be a day for reflection. As I sit here on my bed, cup of coffee in hand, I’m trying to get my head around a lot of news I’ve received recently. Thankfully, most of it is good! I thought I’d share with you some of the things coming up in the Christineland.
In Print
I found out on Friday that not one, or two, but three of my Ellora’s Cave books will be coming out in print in 2011! For those of you collecting the paperbacks, both The Bond That Consumes Us and The Bond That Saves Us will be hitting the shelves. I’m also thrilled to have learned that Primal Elements will also be coming out in print! I’ll keep you posted on any other updates.
New Sales
I have a very exciting new sale that I am desperate to announce, but I can’t quite yet. I just received the contract and will be sending it in shortly (must give it a good read through first). Let’s just say I’m VERY excited with this one.
EDIT: Hell, I just read the contract and signed, so I’m going to announce it anyway! I’m thrilled to say that my short story, Bruised Ego, will be in the November 2011 Berkley anthology, Agony and Ecstacy. To say I’m still in shock is an understatement. I have to thank J.K Coi for encouraging (making) me write this story right before the deadline. Even better? Her story also got in!!!
Reviews
Thank you to everyone who has bought and read No Remedy! I have received a ton of emails on this book and many people are also going back to read No Quarter. I had this review from Carla at RomFan Reviews pop up in my Google Alerts. They gave No Remedy a five hunk rating! Thanks to them and please check out their other reviews.
I know I’ve said it before, but to everyone who has taken the time to either place a review on Goodreads, the Ellora’s Cave site, a blog or even sent me an email – THANK YOU! Your comments mean so much to me.
Coming Soon
I have two releases coming out in the next few weeks! Commanding Acquisitions is my first novella in the 1-800-DOM-help series from Ellora’s Cave. Writing this book was like a gift from my (smutty) muse. Simon and Gavin came to me complete (with a bow around their necks) and the story setup really flowed. I am really excited it will be out on November 10th and I hope to have the cover to share with you shortly.
In addition, I have a short story coming out as part of the EC Merry Kinkmas line. My story Firm Touch will be out on December 6th and has to deal with….
*drum roll*
M/M Fisting.
*and waits for the audience to breath again*
I know what you’re thinking, but it is a very thinking/smutty book. According to my beta readers, it’s pretty hot too LOL! I’ll have to wait to see what you all think about it.
In Progress
With all this going on, I’m not slowing down. I am currently working on No Master, which is book three in my space pirate series. This one is dealing with Korbin, the Admiral of the Black and Zain Strand, his second in command. I’m about a third of the way through I am hoping to have it finished by the end of December.
I’ll be working on a different book for NaNoWriMo. I’m still working out all the details, but the book will be three interconnected novellas. Should be a lot of fun.
I also have plans to do a second book for the 1-800-DOM-help series. More on that once I get it done.
Well, that’s me. As always, I’ll keep people posted of updates as they happen. I wish everyone a fantastic week!
It’s official everyone! I sent off my contract this morning for my EC Kinkmas story, officially titled Firm Touch!
EC wanted to push the boundaries with this year’s Christmas theme and I was right there with them. Time will tell if anyone actually likes the story, or if there is too much of an OMG factor to it. Either way, I’m really happy with how it turned out.
It was the hardest twenty-two pages I have ever written.
Oh, I didn’t tell you what the story is about? What the kink is?
Should I tell you or leave you hanging for a bit?
*ponders*
